Back into crossroads — two completely different directions but only one path… I decided to move back into international speaking mode in USA starting Feb as a keynote speaker.. Flying into LA after a music festival in Colombia. And making arrangements as an abstract artist with ehibitions. Many, many, many opportunitires – but only one me. Crossroads. Doesnt matter how many people are trying to get a piece of me– my dad tells me “you are going to do what you want anyway.” – That’s my family.. supporting every decision, even if they are crazyyyyy.

I filtered this painting in “Black and White” because of the people around me. I live an international lifestyle but not everyone is cultured like me. they dont see in color… Sometimes I just look at em.. like – you dont even deserve these eyes – you cant feel the same way and act about it. This lifestyle is not for everyone – so stop and get some culture please. It’s one way or the other.. their way or no way. Well – take a quick step back because not everything can be seen in black / white. #discrimination is a real thing and very much in MY backyard every mo fo day. I’m thousands of miles away from everything but that sh*t is eating me alive… from one end of the world to the other – From Detroit to Barcelona to Medellin — I cant win em all.. and I wont try to people please anyone. Only chasing my dreams and not worrying for all the drama, all the bullshit – I left my backyard for good reasons — but the main reason – > was to get OUT. Get out of what I was doing, get help from the abuses, doing dumb shit, not taking anything seriously, find reasons to be alive and create something that I can call “mine” – #selfmade and don’t you forget it. And I refuse to let past repeat itself and history abuse me. History will repeat itself if you let it.. and i keep my eyes focused on doing me… doing me because I cannot look back 6 years and think again.. what the f am I doing here? #detroitmade — I need to get a flight back home soon… just sitting on the block in Lafayette reminds me of everything that I came from – I see an open lane, and move right in. Make no mistake – Im aware of everything.

Jet Setter – Go Getter

I will move and shake // until my body cant move anymore.

Can i get an amen 🙏🏻

Life with Sacral Agenesis

Walking by Faith: Life with Sacral Agenesis When I was born, doctors had a lot to say. They listed what I might not do. What I’d miss out on. What wouldn’t work “normally.” But what they didn’t account for was faith—pure, stubborn, unshakable faith. The kind that moves mountains… or wheels, or forearm crutches. I […]

How My Creative and Professional Paths Collide ✨

People sometimes ask me why I’ve chosen such a winding road for my career. Why move from art studios to legal operations? From festival floors to Web3 communities? From painting murals to managing brand protection? The truth is, I didn’t plan it this way. My path grew out of curiosity, necessity, and an unstoppable drive […]

Layers of Paint and Identity: My Artistic Transformation 🖌️

From Canvas to Global Cosmos: Becoming a Creative Leader 🎨

I never planned to become a “global creator.. it just happened” – BEQ. I started with paint and brushes, searching for a way to express what words could never quite hold. It began quietly — long hours in my studio, the smell of acrylics, music pulsing in my headphones. Painting was my refuge and my […]
